Anna's Story

Hello friends! It's Teal Diva 5K time! Last year we raised OVER $16,000 for Teal Diva and were the 2nd highest fundraisers at the Charlotte 5K. My team, Anna Strong, even won the coveted Teal Diva Championship Belt!  This year my goal is to raise $17,000! WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER! 
As many of you know, I have been fighting ovarian cancer for over 6 years. I was originally diagnosed in December of 2018, and I had my first recurrence in September of 2021. After two lengthy periods of remission, for which I am so grateful, the continuous chemotherapy and maintenance treatments became too much for my body to handle. In May of 2023 I received my second cancer diagnoses, treatment-induced Acute Myeloid Leukemia (t-AML).  Fortunately, after a long road and a lengthy stay at MD Anderson in Houston, my leukemia is in remission, (YAY!) but I have been fighting my second ovarian cancer recurrence since September of 2023. With the help of radiation, immunotherapy, platelet-boosting medications, and other treatments, I have been able to live a pretty normal life for the last 18 months. I am still living with active disease, and my bone marrow has taken a bit hit, but I'm still ALIVE, despite what all of the statistics told me.
I truly would not be where I am today without the love and support of Teal Diva and this amazing sisterhood. Ovarian cancer has taken so much from me, but the amazing women of Teal Diva have been the best thing that has come of this awful disease!  Teal Diva helps women in financial distress with the Yes Girl program by funding home repairs, rent/mortgage payments, gas, and groceries for survivors in need. Teal Diva also celebrates and connects gyn cancer survivors with retreats, fellowship gatherings, meals, photoshoots, and virtual meet-ups to foster community and provide support.  Teal Diva spreads awareness so that more people know the symptoms and can educate themselves. 
On May 3, 2025 my team and I will join hundreds of community members as we raise our voices against ovarian and other gynecologic cancers. 
In 2025, it is estimated that over 114,810 women will be diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer and over 34,200 will die as a result of these diseases. We can all make a difference in the fight against gynecologic cancers. Here's how... make a tax-deductible donation here on my Individual page and consider joining me on race day. This year you can be an individual fundraiser to earn incentives for yourself and help Team Anna Strong in the process!
All donation amounts are appreciated and help make a difference in the lives of those within the communities we serve through quality of life programming and community advocacy! Thank you!
